This week it was told by Garry. that his video game had finally sold to over 1 million users! Congrats!

Garry’s mod has sold 1 million copies! This is a real landmark in the history of a game that started out just as a modification on an existing game (Half-Life 2) and then took on a life of its own as a game in its own right? Just why is this game so popular? Perhaps it is the mixture of rag doll posing and innovative tools that appeals to fans wanting to create their own videos? Or maybe it is the fun and fascinating story of innovation and creativity at the game’s roots that leads people to enjoy the feel of Garry’s mod? Either way, now that Garry’s mod has sold 1 million copies, gamers and software developers alike will surely be watching Garry Newman, the creator of Garry’s mod, very closely to see what he does next.
Now that Garry’s mod has sold 1 million copies it joins the ranks of other key games that have reached the million plus mark. The Halo Games, Tetris, and all of the Super Mario franchise games are just a few big names in the gaming world that have sold over a million copies to date. Impressively, some of these games are considerably older than Garry’s mod. Garry’s mod was created in 2004, whilst Games like Tetris and Grand Theft Auto which have topped the ten or twenty million mark were often created two or three decades ago. That means that, when Garry’s mod becomes as well aged as these games, it could well have sold even ten or twenty million copies. Tetris for Mobile, which was released in 2006, is currently the most bought game in the world, across any platform. This game has sold over 100 million copies! So that is something for Garry’s mod to aspire to.
Now that Garry’s mod has sold 1 million copies, where next for this game? Will it make the leap to other platforms like Tetris did with mobiles and smartphones in 2006 and boost its following even further? Or will it become part of a series of highly successful games as is the case with (for instance) the Super Mario or Grand Theft Auto franchises? All that can be said with certainty in the present day, perhaps, is that now is definitely a very exciting time for Garry’s mod.
Have you yet to try http://gmodfree.com/? Perhaps you didn’t know what all the fuss was about, or perhaps you had not even heard of this fun and fascinating game until today? Well, now that Garry’s mod has sold 1 million copies you can surely have a lot more confidence that this is a great game to try out! Why not start playing today and tell all of your friends about it? That way, when the number of copies of Garry’s mod that have been sold jumps to 2 million you can pat yourself on the back, knowing that you were part of something very big. So go on, get your Physics Gun at the ready and start interacting with the crazy, creative world of Garry’s mod, a game that has very deservedly just reached the million copy mark in its sales.

PlayStation 4 is the latest in row of the Sony’s incredible home gaming consoles. If you are looking at this simple but useful guide you probably know some stuff about PlayStation consoles and the big name in gaming industry called Sony Entertainment. Here I found a decent one from Ps4 Themes Portal Beside incredible consoles Sony is also making mobile phones, movies, songs and other entertainment things. PlayStation 4 is the latest precursor of very successful PlayStation one console which you probably played on your childhood because I did. PlayStation one console is sold in over 100 million pieces in a very short period of time, and that happened at 1994 year. PlayStation 3 and 4 are also working on new PlayStation Network platform which allows them to work online and to be connected with other PlayStation devices around the world. PlayStation 4 is released at the end of 2013 year, and at the end of 2014 50 million consoles were sold. PlayStation 4 is also cheaper than his precursors because he is using cheaper quad core AMD processor and Radeon graphic card. Also it is made of cheaper material but still it’s very attractive and beautiful especially if you compare them with PlayStation three console. PlayStation 4 comes with two wireless controllers who are working via Bluetooth technology. Those new and improved controllers have sensitive on touch display and few new buttons like Sony, PSN and Option button which helps you to use your interface faster and better.

A better solution

With the latest big patch presented in Japan, Sony introduced their users with possibility to change their user interface. PlayStation 4 default blue theme was just ugly and simple, and because of that so many PlayStation 4 and 3 users were fuss about it. that’s why Sony added option to add a new cool and improved themes to your user interface. If you are user of PlayStation 4 or 3 console you can download amazing themes from official Sony store via PlayStation Network and install them into your console in a few simple clicks. And if you don’t like installed theme you can delete it with right click on theme and then press uninstall button.

Some PlayStation 4 themes are free and some of them must be purchased via Sony store. Differences between free and purchasable theme is that free theme looks like default one and has ordinary sounds while premium theme has everything changed and looks very epic. IF you don’t believe me go and compare default blue or some free colored theme with premium Bengal tiger theme which has even tiger sounds. But if you don’t have enough money for your favorite theme you can download cracked one for free by going online and searching for PlayStation themes specialized websites. Also on some websites and forums you might find giveaways in which you can win very expensive themes. Don’t hesitate and enter in some of those giveaways, who knows maybe you will win some cool premium theme and it might be your favorite one.

Apple’s original logo was only used for about a year. People seldom know the inside story about it.

When Steve Wozniak finished his first own computer at 1975, Steve Jobs realized the potential of this computer immediately.

First they tried to sell Wozniak’s design to HP (where Wozniak worked for) or Atari (where Jobs worked for), but both companies declined. So they decided to so it themselves. Steve Jobs sold his Volkswagen bus for $1500 and Steve Wozniaks sold his programmable HP calculator for $250. That’s they original capital. Was also one of the games that were about to get developed during this time.

They still had to find someone help them to get the company start-up. Then Ronald Gerald Wayne attended the company. Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Gerald Wayne signed the partnership contract on April 1st, 1976. Wayne was given a 10% stake in Apple. So he was the third co-founder of Apple Computer.

Wayne was 20 years older than Jobs and Wozniak. He worked as video game maker at Atari at daytime then, only worked for Apple at night time, He illustrated the first Apple logo, Apple I manual and their partnership agreement. Now even he plays games such http://farmingsimulator2015freedownload.wordpress.com game or Runescape. Stranded Deep as A free download would also work

Apple’s Original logo which designed by Wayne, was a pen-and-ink drawing of Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. With a portion of William Wordsworth poem running around the border:” Newton…A Mind forever Voyaging through strange seas of the thought…Alone”

But only two weeks later, Wayne relinquished his stock for $800. Because legally all members of a partnership are personally responsible for any debts incurred by any of the other partners. He was afraid of be in financial truble.

Later that same year, venture capitalist Mike Markkula helped develop a business plan and convert the partnership to a corporation. By 1982 when Apple had a billion dollars in annual sales; Wayne’s stake could worth as much as US$1.5 billion. But as a cautious person, Wayne claimed that he didn’t regret selling the stock as he had made “the best decision available at that time.”

Steve Jobs always felt that Wayne’s logo was too cerebral, he wanted a much vivid one. In early 1977, Jobs hired Regis McKenna Advertising to define a new logo for Apple. That came the rain-bow Apple logo.

In June 1971, Steve Wozniak and Bill Fernandez built their first computer at Bill Fernandez’sgarage. Bill Fernandez became Apple’s first employee in 1976.

Steve Jobs was Atari’s No.40 employee before he co-found Apple. Steve Wozniak desined Breakout item for Atari at 1975, Which showed his brilliant inherence. Apple’s third co-founderRonald Gerald Wayne, also worked for Atari then.

Today, People may don’t know this formula:Apple+Microsoft=Applesoft. But it’s part of Apple andMicrosoft’s history.

Applesoft Basic was the first computer language I had learned. I was just a little child in primary school then. Apple II computer was the first computer I had touched too.

Applesoft Basic was a kind of BASIC supplied on the Apple II computer. As you can see from the picture, It was supplied by Microsoft and its name is derived from the names of both Apple andMicrosoft.

The cassette tape in picture was the first version of Applesoft, It was released in 1977. In 1978, Applesoft II, which could support for the Apple II high-resolution graphics modes, was released, That’s the “Applesoft” term in the history.

It was said Apple’s customers were demanding a version of BASIC that supported floating point calculations. But Steve Wozniak was too busy at his Apple DOS project then. So Apple askMicrosoft for help. Apple obtained an eight-year license for Applesoft BASIC from Microsoft for only $31,000 then.

Apple’s QuickTake series was one of 21 Great Technologies That Failed according to PC Magazine. But who cares!
I bought this QuickTake 200 through an auction, It’s my favorite digital collection.

The Apple QuickTake series was one of the first consumer digital cameras in this world. It was first launched in 1994. Three models of the product were built including the 100,150 and 200. TheQuickTake 200 which released on 17 February 1997 was the last digital camera model Applelaunched still now.

when Steve Jobs came back to Apple in 1997 , He discontinued many non-computer products, such as the Newton PDA, the LaserWriter printer line and the QuickTake, in order to solve Apple’s financial problems. Since then, Apple QuickTake camera series became a kind of hot collections for Mac Fans.

The QuickTake 200 had a display resolution of 640 x 480 pixels maximum (0.3 Megapixels). MyQuickTake 200 also equiped with a 2MB memory card made by Fujifilm.
